If you're talking about the one that's used by TI86Emu, then I dont think I
would like to use that - the memory access scheme would just be too slow,
and I dont need half the debugging features it has... anyway, one's own code
is so much easier to read :)

I'm probably going to rewrite the whole thing in asm eventually anyway -
it's just that debugging on the Palm / in asm isnt exactly easy. I want to
get a working core, then replace parts of it with asm as required. That way,
if any of the asm bits go wrong, I'll notice immediately, which reduces the
amount of debuging I'll have to do on the Palm...
